GLAAD, a nonprofit monitoring group that promotes the image of the LGBT community in the media, said this week that it sees a decrease in the percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters on television in the coming year, following a record high last season.

According to the organization's annual "Where We Are on TV" report, which analyzes characters for scripted primetime broadcast and cable shows for the 2013-2014 season, 3.3 percent of series regulars will be LGBT characters, compared with 4.4 percent in 2012.

On broadcast television networks (ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC), 26 characters are LGBT, down from 31 last year, while 770 are non-LGBT, the report states.

"Despite the drop in characters on broadcast television, LGBT characters continue to thrive on cable television, with the number of out regular characters rising sharply to 42, compared to 35 last year," the report states.
